I kind of agree. The bad thing is that top-posting and not snipping 
the parts you are responding to, massively decreases the readibility 
and usefullness of email. 

You just read the first paragraph of an email and ignore all the 
rest. I do it, the person I'm responding to does it. Kind of like a 
lose-lose situation. Of course, the person that seeks help loses 
more.
